    Ok so food wise we don't need anything at the moment, have 6pts of milk and tons of bread. To the point I will definitely need to freeze some, if I can find room! Don't think I'll need any food until at least Mondsy, will try and eek out the milk. Am sticking to my budget of £10 a week again for the next 3 weeks. Any money's not spent will be carried over to the following week.

    As tonight is my first night without OH, I am going to go through my recipe books and come up with some good dinners to ring the changes a bit.

    I still have a glut of pears in my fridge but they are going over and I don't know what to do with them.... I also have a ton of apples I need to stew, a job for the weekend I think.

    Hi Lauren! That would be great! It's great to have some moral support. It's fruit and veg which are the expensive things! Everything else I think we're covered!

    Just got to work waiting for my computer to update 'sigh'. Have my smoothie for breakfast. Had to get petrol was cross as detoured to Tesco as thought would be cheaper and it ended up being the same price as the Esso down the road from work!!!!! And you get club card points there, but there you go. Will be more prepared re petrol as think it's cheaper nearer home anyways. Need to start thinking about the C word that happens in December (sorry). As can get bits and pieces so there's not a huge bill come December....

    Hope you all have a lovely day x
